OUR YOUTH
Our children and teens (ages birth through high school) are an integral part of Chevrei Tzedek's community. On any given Shabbat or holiday, our pre-B'nei Mitzvah age children help lead prayers in the main service and are often honored with opening the ark. We are especially proud of our post-B'nei Mitzvah teens, who read Torah and conduct services in the main sanctuary, including on High Holidays.
Here are some of our youth activities:
SERVICES BY KIDS FOR KIDS
Our children’s services are led by our teenagers. During non-pandemic times, we hold services every Shabbat and holiday from 11 a.m. to noon:
K’tanim (for children from birth through ~1st grade)
A warm introduction to the Shabbat morning service, including songs, games and stories.
Junior Congregation (for children in ~2nd grade through 8th grade)
As they prepare to become B'nei Mitzvah, our youth gain confidence in leading the service.
TEEN ACTIVITIES
Noar Tzedek Activities (for 5th-12th graders)
Lunch and Learn: Monthly Shabbat (11-noon) discussions in a relaxed atmosphere on current events, social issues, etc.
Innovative holiday celebrations and Tikkun Olam projects.
We have a USY (United Synagogue Youth) group for high school students and a Kadima youth group for middle school students.
CHILDCARE
Childcare is provided for children aged two to 12 every Shabbat, beginning at 9:45 a.m. We provide a safe, enjoyable environment for children, including both indoor and outdoor play.
B'NEI MITZVAH
Families preparing for a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony form a chug (group) that meets regularly to prepare the children, participate in social action projects, and provide a support network for parents.
More information on Bar and Bat Mitzvahs can be found at B'nei Mitzvah Policy.
HEBREW SCHOOL
Chevrei Tzedek Congregation does not have its own Hebrew School. We have held partnerships with nearby congregations to permit Chevrei Tzedek members (who are in good standing) to attend their Hebrew schools.
